Rust error: a bin target must be available for `cargo run`

Rust error: a bin target must be available for `cargo run`

In this post, we will learn how to fix the rust build error a bin target must be available for `cargo run`. 
In my case I was getting this error because while creating rust project with command cargo new project_name, the source (src) directory was not containing main.rs but it was containing lib.rs because cargo new project_name command was creating library not binary project. You can solve above issue by creating project with below command.

 cargo new project_name --bin
Above command will create your project with directory structure
 /project_name  
   - Cargo.toml  
   - src/main.rs
Now you can build and run project with
 cargo build  
 cargo run

OFFSET in Computer Science

OFFSET in Computer Science In the post, We will understand what is the meaning of OFFSET in computer science with an example. In computer science offset comes picture at may place like packing a data structure, encoding the data etc in some standard protocol so that other parties can deserialise it and understand the data. We will understand its important how does it work with example. suppose we have a data structure for a student like { name:string[20] roll: int[4] course: string[25] batch: int[4] } We want to serialise below student data  { name:"Amit Gupta" roll: 1234 course:Computer Science" batch: 2018 } Our protocol follow the rule that we will insert a value and if space will remain empty we will fill it with $ for example length of "Amit Gupta" is 10 but standard size is 20 so will fill 10 $ after "Amit Gupta". So serialisation of above data will be Amit Gupta$$$$$$$$$$1234Computer Sc...

Pointer In C Programming Language

Pointer In C Programming Language In this post, We will learn about pointer in C programming language. Introduction Pointers in C programming language is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable. A pointer in C is used to allocate memory dynamically i.e. at runtime. The pointer variable might be belonging to any of the data types such as int, float, char, double, short etc. Important Points About Pointer in C: Pointer stores the address of a variable whereas a normal variable stores the value.   The content of the C pointer always be a whole number i.e. address. Default C pointer is initialized to null, i.e. int *p = null. The value of the null pointer is 0. & symbol is used to get the address of the variable. * symbol is used to get the value of the variable that the pointer is pointing to. If a pointer in C is assigned to NULL, it means it is pointing to nothing. Two pointers can be subtracted to know how many elements are available...
